Monthly Beauty and Book Haul ~ June 2024

Back in 2022, I set a monthly beauty and books budget at $200 per month and I've been pretty good about sticking to it! I am trying to be thoughtful in my purchases, so this has been holding me accountable for being reasonable with my spending. Since it worked so well last year, I'm really trying to do the same thing this year! 

I do always love my Monthly Haul posts - it's a good way to keep track of everything that I picked up each month. I don't always blog about everything I pick up (I try to), but if you ever spot anything in here that you really want me to talk about, let me know! 

Walmart Order ~ $36.13 CAN. I was super excited to try these bronzing drops from Lottie London and I've heard amazing things about the Milani Lip Stain - I can't wait to try these both soon! I have used the LA Colors Crackle Top Coat - you can see my review here! 

August 2020 - Monthly Empties

Here's a look at my Monthly Empties:

Hard Candy Sheer Envy Perfecting Primer ~ travel size (full size is $8.98 CAN). A skin tone perfecting formula that brightens dull skin while decreasing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and pores to provide a flawless, smooth finish.

I finished this in my most recent Project Pan post - this was a good primer and a really decent drugstore option. I personally have enough primers to last me the next 5 years, so it isn't something I will consider repurchasing for a while; but, it is a good primer!

20 in 2020 Project Pan - Update #4

In December I kicked off my big year-long Project Pan - I am planning on using up or hitting pan on 20 makeup products throughout the whole year and I'm using 10 products at a time. So, I introduced the first 10 products in December, did an update in February, an update in April, an update in June, and this is my 4th update!

At the end of the last update I had reached my goal on 9 products already, which is good - I was hoping I think to be a little farther along, but I still think I'm on track to finish 20 products at the end of the year. I'm doing this project in a rolling project pan, so I'm starting with 10 products and as I hit my goal on them, I'm rolling new products in!

At the end of the second update I had reached my goal on 6 products already, which felt great! I'm doing this in a rolling project pan, so I'm starting with 10 products and as I hit my pan, I'm rolling new products in to work on! 

20 in 2020 Project Pan - Update #2

In December I kicked off my big year-long Project Pan - I am planning on using up or hitting pan on 20 makeup products throughout the whole year! So, I introduced the first 10 products in December, did an update in February, and now it's time for my second update!

I was really happy that I already reached two of my goals in my first update, and am excited to say I hit more for this update too! So, I wanted to use up 20 products throughout the year; but, I didn't want to overwhelm myself with 20 products at the start, so I'm rolling in new products as I reach my goals on products so I'm sticking with 10 products on a time to focus on! 

August 2019 - Monthly Favourites!

I know I've been saying this a lot; but, can you believe that August is nearly over?! I feel like I blinked and Summer was gone! It was a great Summer - it was just really, really busy. I'm looking forward to things slowing down soon!

Anyways, today's post is all about things I was loving in August and it's clearly got a heavy banana focus with a couple of makeup products and a lovely scent! 

Long Weekend at the Cabin Beauty Must Haves!

And as I was packing, I thought I'd share some of the must-have multi-tasking beauty items that I pack along with me for any quick weekend away! When I'm going out to the cabin (or really any long weekend away) I don't pack my full routine with me because I try to be less high maintenance!
